Let the Cowboys be, in pastures new!
Cowboys Let the cowboys be… Let them tend to causes....genuine and real To bequeath…an opportunity to be authentic. To bequeath…a shot at redemption To weed the errant and replant in ravines, chasms In pastures new… ….the errant cowboys, …..burdensome, irksome, oppressive…too much ….for sale, with privileges too plentiful …..the ones acting out.. avaricious mode aplenty ……one too many errors ……. lives not to be trampled...

Where the Cowboys Live
There’s only so many ways I can write a song about a cowboy riding his horse cross the range Are there any new words I can use to describe the rugged mountains that tower over the plains What else can I say about them icy cold rivers that rapidly flows down from a snow covered peak Or the beauty of a...

Cowboys Love It When
Cowboys love it when, There is no barbed wire in site, And the local Sheriff, Is conspicuous by his absence. Cowboys Love it when, There is a shortage of skilled, Builders Plumbers and electricians. Cowboys love it when, They can mostly check their own work, And council staff are increasingly too busy, Or on the take. Cowboys love it when, Lawyers are too expensive, for the...
